PINEAPPLE CULTIVATION IN SINGAPORE. 
The cultivation of pineapples in Singapore island has taken larger 
dimensions than before. Large tracts of country formerly occupied by 
secondary growth being now cleared and covered with pineapples. Great 
quantities of pines have been also brought into Singapore from the 
islands around. 
The result of this immense crop has been that pineapples have been 
selling in town for a cent a piece and up country at 5 for a cent, that 
is about 20 for a penny. The tinning trade is now apparently entirely 
in Chinese hands. It is satisfactory to see in many of the pineapple 
fields coconuts or rubber being planted, as pineapple culture is by 
no means good for the land.
